Registering Your Intent to Donate Organs and Tissue
Why should I register to be an organ and tissue donor?
Many lives could be saved if you consent to donate your organs (heart, liver, pancreas, small bowel, kidneys, and lungs) after your death. Donating tissues like skin, bone, tendons, corneas, whole eyes and heart valves can enhance the life of someone who has been burned, or who has vision or mobility problems.
Who can register to be an organ and tissue donor?
You can register your intent to donate your organs and tissues after death if you have a Health Card and are 16 or older. If you are 15 or younger, your parent or legal guardian needs to complete the registration for you. You can change your mind at any time.
